New Fenders - Which Knot?

[ArchieMylo]

Hi

So I have bought a new pack of fenders which has come with the requisite lengths of rope to make up the fenders.

I am comfortable with the clove hitch end of business.....but what knot would you use to secure the other end of the rope to the fender itself??

Thanks!!

Don't rely on a clove hitch by itself.
They can slip in use against a pontoon or another boat & leave you thinking someone's either adjusted them downwards or pinched them.
Couple of half hitches as well or a round turn & two half-hitches instead.

A spliced eye would be my choice on three braided rope
